Shiny, Happy Person

So I looked at the crazy man peering down at me. My first thought was, "What is this guy's problem? I'm not even IN his booth!" So I put my camera down for a second and said, "I'm just taking pictures! You have beautiful things!"

"Well...what for??"

"Beeecause..I want to? It's just a hobby. I have this nice expensive camera here and I like to use it! See all these buttons right here? I can't know what they do if I don't practice."

"Well...What are you going to do with those pictures from your expensive camera?"

What the hell? Are you deaf? "Uh...look at them? It's just a hobby."

The man just stared at me for two seconds and said "uh-huh," under his breath as he walked off.

Now, I'm a little mischievous, I'll be the first to admit. When people pick on me, I just can't STAND it! I have to pick back! So naturally, I followed the man INTO his booth! "Where did you find all these things? What a great collection! They are so colorful! I've never seen anything like it! Did you travel the world to collect these things? Are they breakable?" On and on and on and on I went. I must have followed the man for a minute asking stupid questions I didn't really care anything about! I didn't remember every question but towards the end I was fighting back the laughter so hard my throat hurt!

The only thing he would respond was, "Thanks," and he eventually turned his back to me and tried to ignore me...

When I finally got my fill, I walked back to DH for a nice little scolding about how I shouldn't do that to people followed up with a "What the hell was his problem anyway?" I don't know what dude's problem was but if it's bad enough to make the small stuff big, I'm glad it's not mine!
